Chapter 51: Water Foam
"Okay." The young man was stunned when he heard this, and when he saw Gu Ming's expression, he could only nod, and took out the jade Buddha that he had shown to the old couple before and handed it to Gu Ming.
Gu Ming took the jade Buddha in his hand, and there was immediately a slightly higher temperature than the previous jade buckle in his left hand, obviously this is also genuine, but because it is not an antique, there is not much heat and other feelings in Gu Ming's hands.
After carefully observing the side light, Gu Ming was basically able to determine that this jade Buddha was not actually of the glass species, but was extremely close to the glass species, between the glass species and the ice species.
The pure color jade Buddha of this ice glass species is not as good as the real glass species in terms of price, but it is also much better than the general ice species, and it looks very beautiful.
It seems that this young man has exaggerated ingredients, which also makes her further affirm that this old couple does not understand jadeite at all, and there is no difference between glass and ice.
"This seems to be an ice glass jadeite, and the condition is quite good." Gu Ming's mind turned, and he looked at the Jade Buddha and muttered to himself.
"Didn't you say this is a glass species?" The old couple looked at Gu Ming in surprise, and at the same time cast their suspicious eyes on the young man.
The young man didn't expect Gu Ming to say this, so he didn't react at once, so he looked at Gu Ming in a daze.
Gu Ming didn't pay attention to the young man, and turned his head to look at the old couple: "Although I don't know much about jadeite, I still know the types, although this jade Buddha is very close to the glass species, but it is not!" This is generally referred to as the ice glass species. ”
"What is the ice glass species, which is different from the glass species?" The wife of the old couple was more anxious, and immediately asked Gu Ming.
"Of course it's different, the ice glass species is slightly more transparent than the ice species, and slightly worse than the glass species." Gu Minghu glanced at the young man suspiciously, touched the jade Buddha in his hand suspiciously, and said as if he was not very confident: "Did he tell you that this is a glass species?" Am I mistaken? ”
"Maybe it's a mistake." The young man moved slightly, as if he was a little uneasy.
Gu Ming pouted secretly, this young man is really good at playing word games, and he may have read it wrong, and he can't tell whether the young man accidentally read it wrong or she read it wrong.
Once the seeds of doubt are planted, whether they are true or false, if you don't explore them, you won't be able to put your mind at ease.
The old couple was about to make a decision to buy the young man's Jade Buddha, and was about to repay the price again, and then went outside the store to pay according to the young man's words, but as soon as Gu Ming said this, they immediately raised their vigilance.
"This young lady, didn't you say that you have a jade Buddha that is very similar to this one, why don't you take a look?" The husband of the old couple put the jade Buddha on the counter and motioned for Gu Ming to pick it up and look at it.
The young man moved, as if he wanted to reach out and take the Jade Buddha, but unfortunately Gu Ming's movements were a step faster, and he took the Jade Buddha into his hand before he could reach out his hand.
"This ......" Gu Ming checked the jade Buddha in his hand and glanced at the young man lightly.
Her glance seemed unintentional, but it frightened the young man's head with a layer of fine sweat.
"Miss, I brought the jade buckle." It just so happened that the landlady returned to the store at this time.
Gu Ming saw that the young man's uneasiness seemed to have expanded a little because of the appearance of the female boss, and after thinking about it, he turned around and smiled at the female boss, pointing to the jade Buddha he saw before: "Boss, you came back just in time, tell me what kind of thing this is, is it glass or ice glass?" I think it's ice glass. ”
The female boss walked over, only glanced at it and said, "This jade Buddha is only one in our store, it is an ice glass plant, Miss, you really have eyesight." ”
"I thought I was wrong! You must know that this glass species is more than a little bit different from the ice glass species. Gu Ming breathed a sigh of relief.
"What about this?" The old couple couldn't sit still, and regardless of what the young man said before, he couldn't let the boss know that he was selling jade in private, pointed to the jade Buddha in Gu Ming's hand, and asked the female boss.
The moment the female boss saw the jade Buddha in Gu Ming's hand clearly, her face sank, and she suddenly shot her angry gaze at the young man.
"Qin, Sister Qin......" The young man shuddered uncontrollably.
"Take your salary this month, please leave my store now, I can't afford to hire someone like you, immediately, immediately!" The female boss looked at the young man angrily, took out an envelope from her bag, and threw it in front of the young man.
"Sister Qin, I ......" The young man was startled by the female boss's action.
"Before I change my mind and call the police." The female boss said coldly, seeing that the other party didn't mean to move, she picked up her mobile phone and started dialing.
Seeing this, the young man swooped out from behind the counter, grabbed the envelope in front of him, didn't even care about the jade Buddha in Gu Ming's hand, and ran out of the store quickly.
"This ...... What the hell is going on? The old couple looked at everything in front of them dumbfounded, and couldn't figure out why the person who had just been fine ran away at this moment.
"I'm really sorry, that person just now was supposed to leave tomorrow, but I didn't expect him to ...... today Thankfully, you weren't fooled, or else my little shop's reputation would have been over. The female boss shook her head and said apologetically to the old couple.
Gu Ming immediately understood, it seemed that the young man really had a problem, and the female boss still knew what the problem was, otherwise he would not have had this expression after seeing the Jade Buddha, according to the situation just now, it was probably not the first time that the young man had done this kind of thing behind the female boss's back.
Gu Ming raised the jade Buddha in his hand: "It's a beautiful water foam, why did you just leave like this, don't you want it?" ”
"What kind of water foam, isn't this jadeite?" The old couple glanced at each other, turned their heads to look at Gu Ming and asked.
"Water foam is a jade species that lives in symbiosis with jadeite, called albite jade. Albite jade has a good water head, translucent or transparent, often glass, ice, milky white, milky yellow, with green bands like clouds, which are very similar to the appearance of "floating blue jadeite", and are easily confused.
However, the water foam is not valuable, the price is low, and people often use it to pretend to be jadeite for huge profits. Gu Ming did not answer their questions positively, but kindly popularized science for the two old couples who didn't understand.
The old couple looked at Gu Ming in surprise, and their eyes went straight between the jade Buddha in Gu Ming's hand and the other piece of ice glass jade Buddha.
"In fact, as long as you are careful and pay more attention, the two can still be distinguished. The weight of the water foam is about 1/3 of the same volume of jadeite, if you are a novice, you should hold the water foam in one hand, and hold a natural jadeite in the other hand to compare it, the water foam has a light and fluttering feeling, and the jadeite has the feeling of beating. If there is more contrast, it will naturally feel good. Just be careful, don't weigh too much, it's too much, too many times, it's likely that you will feel like you don't feel at all. Gu Ming put the foaming jade Buddha into the hands of the old couple.
There are several ways to distinguish between water foam and jadeite, but Gu Ming doesn't need to go into detail at this time.
After the old couple tried the real jade and the water foam jade Buddha one by one, the expression on their faces was very ugly, and they didn't say anything when they put down their things, nodded to Gu Ming and the female boss, and left the store quickly.
"Thank you, young lady, for today." The female boss smiled at Gu Ming and put the jade buckle in front of Gu Ming: "Miss, you can pick whatever you want, and I will give it to you." ”
The female boss is also an understanding person, Gu Ming is obviously a knowledgeable person, and she came to ask her before because she found something wrong. If it weren't for Gu Ming, maybe her small shop would not only have a bad reputation because of a bad employee, but also get into a lot of trouble.
"This is not good, I am going to buy it and give it away, and I didn't say anything besides, I just talked about the characteristics of the foam and the simple identification method, it was the boss who got the person away when you came." Gu Ming said with a smile.
She was only a little suspicious at first, and after confirming that the young man's jade Buddha was actually a foam, she didn't plan to expose the other party directly, but just wanted the old couple to doubt it, so as to give up the purchase smartly, but she didn't expect the female boss to come back so soon.
But this is better for her, after all, this matter is not aimed at her, and it is not her usual practice to face such a conflict directly, and it is the best policy to make the old couple understand what she means in a roundabout way.
"Auntie, what's wrong?" A man looked at the old couple who were leaving quickly, and walked into the store with something in his arms.
"Fang Zhou, Qin Sheng, you are here." The female boss looked up at the person who came, and a smile appeared on her face.
When Gu Ming heard Qin Sheng's words, he quickly looked over.
Originally, she thought it was the same name and surname, but she didn't expect that it was really the Qin Sheng she knew, and today the other party was wearing a dark gray plaid shirt, which was really worthy of being a plaid shirt man.
"Miss Gu, hello." Qin Sheng showed a hint of surprise in his eyes and greeted Gu Ming politely.
Gu Ming put away her thoughts, nodded calmly and replied, "Mr. Qin, hello." ”
"You know?" The female boss looked at Gu Ming and Qin Sheng in surprise, and Fang Zhou also looked at the two with curious eyes.
